MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, March 08, 2010

MOTION NO.13

MOTION: Councillor J. Lahart

That this Council commits to investigate the posssibilities open to residents for redress owing to having been severely, regularly and over a period of several months, been discommoded by motorway construction noise, tremors, sirens, night works, sirens, and more, during the construction of the upgraded M50.

REPORT:

The M50 Upgrade Contract is between the NRA and the M50 Concessions contractor and the Council is not a party to this contract . During the construction phase the Council's role has largely been one of traffic management monitoring and liason .  While the Council appreciate that a scheme of this magnitude in close proximity to existing residential communities can be difficult to manage it has nevertheless been necessary on several occasions for the Council to bring to the attention of both the NRA and M50 Concessions the unacceptable impacts and discommoding of residents adjoining the works.

Arising from several resolutions at Area Committee Meetings and by letter dated 17th February 2010 the NRA have been requested to attend a future meeting of the Area Committee at which these matters can be discussed further.
